Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) DNA fingerprinting is a firmly established molecular marker technique, with broad applications in population genetics, shallow phylogenetics, linkage mapping, parentage analyses, and single-locus PCR marker development. Technical advances have presented new opportunities for data analysis, and recent studies have addressed specific areas of the AFLP technique, including comparison to other genotyping methods, assessment of errors, homoplasy, phylogenetic signal and appropriate analysis techniques. Here we provide a synthesis of these areas and explore new directions for the AFLP technique in the genomic era, with the aim of providing a review that will be applicable to all AFLP-based studies.

Landscape genetics: where are we now? (2010, background): “Nonetheless, recent reviews have shown the high statistical power to detect genetic differentiation using large numbers of SNP (Kohn et al. 2006) or AFLP loci (Meudt & Clarke 2007).”
No rest for the laurels: symbiotic invaders cause unprecedented damage to southern USA forests (2017, background): “AFLPs enable the screening of many loci in a fungal genome without prior sequence knowledge or primer design (McDonald 1997; Meudt and Clarke 2007).”
Current trends in microsatellite genotyping (2011, methodology): “Alternatively, PCR products from multiple amplification reactions can be combined in a single lane, a procedure referred to as pseudo-multiplexing or poolplexing (Ghislain et al. 2004; Meudt & Clarke 2007).”
Relationships among levels of biodiversity and the relevance of intraspecific diversity in conservation - a project synopsis (2008, background): “Recent overviews on AFLPs demonstrate their promises and pitfalls (Bonin et al., 2007a; Meudt and Clarke, 2007).”
A Genome-Scan Method to Identify Selected Loci Appropriate for Both Dominant and Codominant Markers: A Bayesian Perspective (2008, background): “Nevertheless, they have became very popular in the last decade, mostly due to the development of the AFLP marker, an inexpensive and easy way of obtaining large number of genetic markers from a wide variety of organisms (Bensch and Akesson 2005; Meudt and Clarke 2007).”
Identifying future research needs in landscape genetics: where to from here? (2009, background): “…nuclear microsatellites (= simple sequence repeats, SSRs; Selkoe and Toonen 2006) or dominant amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs; Meudt and Clarke 2007) are currently the most widely used nuclear markers, but technical development may soon replace them with single-nucleotide…”
